Love this, especially with the black background

I love the blur - did you do this in camera or post processing? The reson I ask is because I can't do either!! LOL!! I tried to do zoom blur last week and what a mess!! I haven't found "blur" in PS if it is there at all!! Great shot!!

@pamknowler Pam, I did this in Picasa. It's called focal zoom. Not sure if I have seen it in PSE, will have to check it out!

[Harry J Benson]

very healthy, good processing

Fantastic capture! The only thing I totally hate about naartjies are those threads!

[Marti Hughes]

I have a question, how do you get the black backgrounds I see in lots of people's pics? Would love to know how to do this? Thanks in advance

[Sue Wilde]

Zoom, zoom

@martini007 never really thought about it before! All I can do is tell you what I did here. I normally shoot in aperture mode, usually set around 7 - 10, although this was at 5. In post process I play around with the shadows and highlights. The actual background is a tree stump. I will post the unprocessed picture and tag you later today.

What fun!
